Sandstorm in a Bottle

Nothing else in the bottle family comes close to this height. The second jump throws you up a column of sand with a spin animation, clearing more than twice what a Cloud in a Bottle manages. You can cut it short by releasing the jump key partway up, which matters more than it sounds: at full height the landing hurts if you have not sorted out a Lucky Horseshoe yet.

It stacks with the other bottles for a chain of extra jumps, and a Shiny Red Balloon scales the sand jump into something close to absurd. Used just before you hit the ground it wipes falling damage, so it doubles as a panic button on any long drop. The strangest use is with the Panic buff running, where the sideways burst becomes fast enough to cross a world with. That works in pre-Hardmode, so keeping a low-damage source like thorns around turns this into cheap travel.

Pyramids are rare, and for a long stretch the only route to this was hoping your world generated one and that the chest inside cooperated. That is far less painful now, between the desert crates, throwing a Pharaoh's Mask into Shimmer, and building one in Hardmode from a cheaper bottle. If you are chasing the Bundle of Balloons, this is still usually the piece holding you up.
